In This Article:

Here are some examples:

1. Rachel and Ross's length of dating.

In season 3, Rachel says to Ross that he should trust her, and that they've been dating for almost a year, but it seems that they've only been dating for six months; because they started dating towards the end of season 2, and it's only halfway through season 3.

2. Now Rachel and Ross dated for two years?

In a later season, Rachel says that she and Ross dated for two years, but they only dated for one year excluding a long break-up, and one night of being back together.

3. Monica's age.

In season 1, Monica says she's 26, but in season 6 she turns 30. She should be turning 31 or 32.

4. Chandler and Monica's wedding.

In season 7, in an episode where Monica is in a bridal shop with Phoebe and Rachel, she states that she is getting married in May. But did they? If this is when Rachel is six weeks pregnant, and in season 8 in the episode where the baby is late in arrival, Rachel says it's 100 degrees out. If she was six weeks pregnant in May, then she should be having her baby in December, and we know it's not 100 degrees in December in Manhattan.

5. Emma's birthday and Chandler and Monica's infertility.

Chandler and Monica started trying to conceive a baby on the day Emma was born. In a later episode, Monica says to Chandler that she thinks they should take a fertility test because they've been trying to have a baby "for over a year now." But how can this be, when Emma's 1st birthday isn't for SEVERAL more episodes? In fact, her 1st birthday is not until the middle of season 10.

6. The main characters' birthdays. 

The mentioning of the friends' birthdays sometimes do not add up when stated other times, or shown.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
